Don't look at me. I think copyright terms and (in particular) statutory limits are hugely of control. Understanding how something works certainly isn't drinking Kool-Aid. I'm agnostic about piracy; I certainly did enough of it when I was a teenager.
If WP allowed original research it would become a haven for every idiot conspiracy theorist, birther, flat earther moron out there. It would also lower the quality of the information on wikipedia because it would mean that the information is not independantly verifiable.
Its not rocket surgery. Just because wikipedia removed your article on Sailor Moon power items does not mean the policies are wrong.
1. Regulate it. By having drugs produced by companies instead of some dude in a basement the quality will be better, leading to less deaths. If there -are- deaths, the companies can be held accountable.
2. Tax it. Instead of spending billions on stopping drug crime, you can make billions off it by heavily taxing it.
3. Stop putting non-violent drug criminals in jail.. where they learn to be violent and become a plague on society when they get out.
We're so self-important. So self-important. Everybody's going to save something now. "Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails." And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. What? Are these fucking people kidding me? Save the planet, we don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet. We haven't learned how to care for one another, we're gonna save the fucking planet?
I'm getting tired of that shit. Tired of that shit. I'm tired of fucking Earth Day, I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there aren't enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world save for their Volvos. Besides, environmentalists don't give a shit about the planet. They don't care about the planet. Not in the abstract they don't. Not in the abstract they don't. You know what they're interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They're worried that some day in the future, they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn't impress me.
Besides, there is nothing wrong with the planet. Nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The PEOPLE are fucked. Difference. Difference. The planet is fine. Compared to the people, the planet is doing great. Been here four and a half billion years. Did you ever think about the arithmetic? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We've been here, what, a hundred thousand? Maybe two hundred thousand? And we've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred years versus four and a half billion. And we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we're a threat? That somehow we're gonna put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that's just a-floatin' around the sun?
The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through all kinds of things worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles...hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worlwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages...And we think some plastic bags, and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet...the planet...the planet isn't going anywhere. WE ARE!
We're going away. Pack your shit, folks. We're going away. And we won't leave much of a trace, either. Thank God for that. Maybe a little styrofoam. Maybe. A little styrofoam. The planet'll be here and we'll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet'll shake us off like a bad case of fleas. A surface nuisance.
You wanna know how the planet's doing? Ask those people at Pompeii, who are frozen into position from volcanic ash, how the planet's doing. You wanna know if the planet's all right, ask those people in Mexico City or Armenia or a hundred other places buried under thousands of tons of earthquake rubble, if they feel like a threat to the planet this week. Or how about those people in Kilowaia, Hawaii, who built their homes right next to an active volcano, and then wonder why they have lava in the living room.
The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we're gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, 'cause that's what it does. It's a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed, and if it's true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new pardigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn't share our prejudice towards plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn't know
If you look into it, NZ is in many ways unique. If my memory serves me correctly, before European settlement there were no mammals on New Zealand, and most of the dominant animals were birds.
With a less diverse biome, perhaps there is less evolutionary pressure?
Its all about the big databin of all our private secrets that Schmidt, Brin and that other guy swim through like Scrooge McDuck. Or something like that. I don't get it either.

There are many lawyers who would take this on for nothing up front, for a cut of the award.
There are also lawyers who would do it pro bono.
Honey, is that you?
I try to not prejudice aboriginals, but its hard when your prejudice has never been wrong..
Well, you are talking about Maine...
Because practical knowledge of mathematics is actually useful.

Who said anything about requiring the use of a specific OS?
TFA is about support. It costs money to train staff to support things. You're free to use BeOS if you want, just don't expect the staff to support it.
I expect the price Apple sets for iRobbed will be iWayrobbery.
You'd have to make sure the current pidgeons were forked for that though.

Not to mention you can:
1. Regulate it. By having drugs produced by companies instead of some dude in a basement the quality will be better, leading to less deaths. If there -are- deaths, the companies can be held accountable.
2. Tax it. Instead of spending billions on stopping drug crime, you can make billions off it by heavily taxing it.

I have several Warner Brothers cartoons that would disagree...

'The great zero challenge' was stupid.
The pre-conditions on the challenge basically ensured its failure.
Using DBAN on a 500 GB drive can take days, whereas this solution takes a few minutes at most.
It takes days of machine time. It takes perhaps 15 minutes of effort.

You still have to pay for its bailout.
